as shown at a a, iig. l, and a, fig. 4.

The` object of my invention is to construct a skaterunner, having a 'point that will readily and securely engage with the ice, at anyangle presented by the skater, thereby securing greater ease,- and safety from slipping, invexccuting al1 toe'and heel-movements, waltzing, 85e., than any point yet invented.

Another advantage 'ofthe hollow points is, when engaged with the ice, they `act as pivots on which the skater may whirl, and they do not. oder that degree ofresistanoe offered by :the sharp, square, and round What I do claim as new and-useful, and desire to secure by LettcrsPatent, is- Y he construction of a skate-runner, having a round point at both toe and heel, said round points to be hollowed or bored out, as shown, and operating substantially as` and for thepurposes speoied.- P.l A.
